Choice


Tend to your garden,
cultivate it,
or scorch it down with gasoline.
Heal the blisters on 
your tongue,
revive the beauty rooted 
in love.
Stand in the dark
or claw your way 
toward the light.
It's your choice
to live
or die.

    Powerful writing - that gives your reader pause. We have a lot more imput into circumstances than we realize.

    Whoa, a perfect Bitch! I felt the fury... and the ultimatum.
    Good piece, in my opinion.

    I think many have failed to heed the advice in time.

    I am not sure death is a choice, but the way we live life is.

      Yes...the way we choose to live life...some are living but they are dead on the inside.

    It's easy to forget in the devastation of fire there is life, new growth after. Love you images, they're powerful.

    If only it was that simple, "it is your choice to live or die." I have heard and believe it to be true, "people die and men leave."

    Never thought of burning the garden down, but persisted with a more hands on approach...hopefully getting to know it a bit better.

    Choices we have... and one is to believe in the power of ash.
